But with session Local, the secret will be deleted after each session, did you maybe mean Local Storage ? Or does the secret is passed at each new session (which feels strange...) ?

Kris nailed these questions.

Sure! Everything in the world is dangerous, even 2 factor authentication (http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/03/the_failure_of.html) and I'm aware of it. We already have a discussion with iOS team , because the secret is sent through the network. But QRCode scanners would be complex into iOS land, we decided to have working code and improve it later.

How the secret will be provided is not a big deal to the initial release, my goals are:

- Generate the secret
- Generate valid OTPs

At the end of the day, developers will choose how they will provide the secret: images, captchas, voice recognition, piece of paper. We're just trying to provide examples about how to send it.

If you look at aerogear-otp-java there's no QRCode there and that's the idea, you choose.

Looks really interesting Sebi, I didn't get a chance to test anything close to it. You can add features, comments and concerns here if you want https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear.org/pull/56
